2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irving is a skilled player, both as a runner and receiver, and he was highly productive at both Minnesota and Oregon. The question of his NFL viability is less certain, as Irving tumbled to the fourth round of the 2024 Draft after posting disappointing numbers at the combine. Fellow former Pac-12 back Myles Gaskin could be a cautionary tale -- Gaskin was an exceptionally productive four-year player at Washington, yet in the NFL a lack of power and speed has caught up to him. Following a 4.55-second 40 time at 192 pounds, Irving heads to the NFL with some of the same concerns. He's unlikely to challenge incumbent starter Rachaad White in any meaningful way, but Irving could earn a change-of-pace role in an offense that otherwise lacks backfield talent. Read Past Outlooks

Records 31 total yards in win
Irving rushed six times for 26 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.
ANALYSIS
The rookie had drawn the start in the first two preseason games, but Rachaad White saw his first and only action of the exhibition slate Friday and was the first running back in. Irving checked in on the second possession and put together another solid performance relative to opportunity, and he appears set to start the regular season as the clear-cut No. 2 back behind White.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![TB](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100TB.png?v=8)
Most productive rookie back?
Dan Graziano of ESPN believes Irving could be the most productive rookie running back in 2024.
ANALYSIS
There's been considerable buzz that Irving could overtake Rachaad White as the lead back in Tampa Bay, so this wouldn't be all that much of a surprise -- particularly in a week running back class. Graziano points to White's inefficiency on the ground -- he's averaged only 3.7 yards per carry through two pro seasons -- and the fact that Irving has impressed during training camp to back up his assertion. His case is also strengthened by the fact that Panthers second-rounder Jonathon Brooks will begin the season on the PUP list as he continues to recover from a torn ACL.
